Saddam hussein 1990 1991

In 1990, Saddam Hussein, the then-President of Iraq, invaded Kuwait, claiming it was historically part of Iraq. This aggressive act led to widespread international condemnation and the formation of a coalition led by the United States. In response, the Gulf War began in January 1991, with coalition forces launching Operation Desert Storm to liberate Kuwait. By late February 1991, Kuwait was liberated, and Saddam's regime faced significant military and political repercussions.
